Episode 44

16

It is indeed as you said.

17

This victim died because his blood was completely removed.

18

I really can't imagine it.

19

What kind of person can have such frightening power?

20

I don't know if you have carefully observed the corpse.

21

This corpse eyes were glaring at something and his mouth is wide open.

22

I think that after he entered the main hall,

23

he saw an object that caused him extreme fear.

24

Impossible. Liubei Palace is just a normal palace.

25

There are people cleaning it everyday.

26

For so many years, there have been no abnormalities that happened there.

27

Also, the palace maid in-charge of cleaning it even said that

28

when they entered, both the doors and windows were tightly shut.

29

They never saw anyone at all.

30

Who killed him then?

31

How about we make a hypothetical assumption first?

32

If it was me who pushed open the door, walked inside the main hall, and suddenly got attacked,

33

I will surely reflexively try to defend myself or struggle out of there.

34

But this corpse

35

doesn't show any traces of that.

36

He didn't tried to resist?

37

Rather than saying he didn't resist, it's more like he didn't had time to resist.

38

Upon seeing the object, his blood already got sucked out.

39

I don't believe it. In this world, it's impossible to have such evil power.

40

I also don't believe it,

41

but the corpse is here. We have no choice but to believe it.

42

Princess Consort, what do you need from me?

43

I want to ask you a question.

44

Who is the mistress of Liubei Palace?

45

That, I don't know. It's better that you ask other people.

46

You really don't know?

47

I really don't know. His Highness has a lot of matters he instructed me to do.

48

I'm very busy. Just spare me.

49

Princess Consort, even if you make things hard for me, I still don't know.

50

If you don't tell me

51

and I lose the competition, I have to leave this place then.

52

Princess Consort, I can tell you about it.

53

But this matter happened very long ago. It's better that you don't ask about it further.

54

Okay. I promise not to ask any more questions after.

55

Look. I'm investigating Liubei Palace. I must know who the mistress is,

56

or else, how would I know where to start my investigation?

57

You still can't...

58

Your Highness.

59

Don't do that. I've done that trick so many times.

60

If you want to know anything, you can ask me.

61

Your Highness, I...

62

I understand. Leave first.

63

Yes.

64

Why are you here?

65

Don't you want to know?

66

I'll tell you. The Mistress of Liubei Palace is Furen Yue,

67

the mother of Eighth Royal Prince.

68

It's just that she unluckily died at a young age.

69

I...just want to understand the truth.

70

I already told you the whole truth.

71

You can be curious and continue your investigation for the truth,

72

but you must not go after past events.

73

Furen Yue?

74

That's right. Lanruo, you heard of her?

75

Why are you mentioning her out of the blue?

76

Isn't she the mistress of Liubei Palace?

77

And aren't I investigating a case in Liubei Palace right now?

78

This is actually not some secret too.

79

Most people know about it.

80

Furen Yue is actually the birth mother of His Highness Eighth Royal Prince.

81

When she was young, she was very beautiful and is highly favored.

82

Too bad, a beautiful woman has such short life span. She died in a very young age.

83

The Eighth Royal Prince then was just a newborn.

84

Maybe because he lacked the care of a birth mother,

85

that's why, he did those ridiculous things.

86

So that's how it was. And I was wondering why Eighth Royal Prince would make fun of me when it was just our first time meeting.

87

But after you said that, I'm now more curious about Liubei Palace.

88

Princess Consort, are you having some weird ideas again?

89

I plan to sneak into Liubei Hall tonight.

90

Everyone is saying that the tragic murder in Liubei Palace is the doing of Furen Yue's spirit.

91

- Furen Yue? She has been dead for so many years.

- That's right.

92

- Don't make up things.

- What do you people know?

93

You didn't see that palace servant. His blood

94

has been completely sucked out.

95

Also, there were no signs of any people entering or exiting the hall.

96

If it wasn't a ghost causing trouble, what could it be?

97

I have long felt that there is something unclean in that palace.

98

It's always dark and spooky.

99

Usually, we do the cleaning in the morning.

100

- If not because this time—

- If not because, what?

101

Your Highness the Empress Dowager, I didn't mean to break palace rules!

102

Your Highness the Empress Dowager, have mercy!

103

- Punish her according to palace rules.

- I didn't mean to break the palace rules!

104

Your Highness the Empress Dowager, have mercy!

105

- Your Highness the Empress Dowager, have mercy! Your Highness the Empress Dowager!

- Spreading false rumors to scare people...

106

Your Highness Empress Dowager, have mercy!

107

Your Highness, there must be someone playing underhand tricks on us.

108

Why not send some more people to investigate Liubei Palace during the night?

109

Immediately relay my order

110

to send 20 highly skilled martial artists

111

and guard inside Liubei Palace tonight.

112

I don't believe

113

we won't be able to capture this damn thing pretending to be a ghost.

114

- You've checked it already? No one is following us, right?

- Yes.

115

There's really none?

116

Liubei Palace

117

Lanruo betrayed me again.

118

This doesn't concern Lanruo. You were too interested in Liubei Palace this morning.

119

I've already suspected that you'll do this, so I asked Shen Yu to monitor you.

120

What place do you think that is?

121

That is a crime scene where a murder just happened. You went out of the manor at this late hour

122

because you want to capture the killer alive and break this puzzle?

123

Who do you think you are? Do you have that skills?

124

How would I know if I don't give it a try?

125

As long as I'm here, don't think of causing any trouble.

126

- Let's go.

- Rong Zhi, I beg you to let me look even just once.

127

- Qingyue! Qingyue! Save me!

- Princess!

128

Qingyue!

129

Quickly let me go!

130

This is so embarrassing! Let go of me!

131

Rong Zhi... Hurry and let go of me...

132

If you promise me that you won't endanger yourself again,

133

I will let you go.

134

Be reasonable, okay?

135

If I don't investigate Liubei Palace at night, how would I know what happened?

136

I don't care! Let me tell you that if you act mischievously again,

137

I'll tie you upside down!

138

Why?

139

Because a person that's too confident with herself must have too much water in here.

140

I'll tie you upside down and see if those water will come out from your nose and ears.

141

You're too scary. I don't care. Let me go.

142

Let me go! Let me go!

143

- Let go!

- Your Highness! Your Highness.

144

Someone died in Liubei Palace again.

145

There's another murder?

146

Who are these people? What's going on here?

147

They are palace guards. They wanted to investigate the matter here in Liubei Palace, but got killed.

148

You hear that? Do you still plan to sneak into Liubei Palace at night?

149

I might not end up just like them.

150

So reckless.

151

You want to investigate Liubei Palace at night?

152

Right. Because I have this intuition.

153

I feel that the killer is just concealing himself and looking for the opportunity to kill.

154

You better not do stupid things.

155

These 20 palace guards are highly skilled martial artists.

156

But they didn't even had the chance to escape, so don't even say resisting.

157

If you were the one who came last night,

158

I fear that there will be an additional corpse today.

159

Princess Consort, don't think about this matter too simply.

160

Liubei Palace is really an ominous place that a chill will run down your spine.

161

It's better that you be obedient and go back.

162

Feifeng General, although I don't have tons of battle merits and a formidable reputation like you,

163

I never lacked courage.

164

With these 20 lives as the price,

165

I won't act recklessly.

166

I will surely find the mystery behind this within 10 days

167

and make the killer reveal himself.

168

After looking for so long, I didn't find anything.

169

What did you find?

170

Nothing.

171

There's nothing at all.

172

- Qingyue.

- Yes?

173

Say, is there really a ghost in this world?

174

Stop scaring me.

175

I'm just casually saying. Don't be afraid.

176

What you hear is fake, what you see is true.

177

Everyone says that there is a ghost, but who has really seen one?

178

Even if they saw it, they all have died.

179

- But—

- There's a ghost.

180

You scared me! Say, nothing has happened

181

here in Liubei Palace for more than 10 years.

182

How come it must happen at this time?

183

I don't know.

184

Who is it?

185

Don't go! Stop! Wait a minute!

186

Let me ask you. Are you a palace maid of Furen Yue before?

187

I know that you can't talk, but can you write?

188

How about this? Reply to me by writing.

189

You do know how to write, right?

190

What happened to your hand? You...

191

Don't be afraid. I won't harm you.

192

I just want to ask...

193

Greetings, Prince Regent's Wife.

194

Senior Maid Qin? Why are you here?

195

Her Highness the Empress Dowager asks to see you.

196

Greetings, Your Majesty. Greetings, Your Highness the Empress Dowager.

197

Chuyu, half of the 10 days limit has passed.

198

Do you now have any clues?

199

Your Highness the Empress Dowager, the palace now is full of rumors.

200

They say that someone bumped into a ghost,

201

but that's not what I think.

202

It's clear that someone is causing mischief.

203

Have you found that person?

204

Temporarily none. But one day, I surely will find the killer.

205

It's good to have confidence. But over confidence

206

is dangerous. People will usually pie errors on top of errors. (distorting the truth)

207

I worry that if we aren't able to find the killer,

208

rumors will uncontrollably spread.

209

What about Huo Xuan? What idea does she have?

210

Replying to Your Highness the Empress Dowager.

211

Feifeng General is the same as Prince Regent's Wife.

212

There's no progress at all.

213

Since both of you can't think of a way,

214

why not give up on this frightening competition?

215

Why don't we just look for another topic to compete on?

216

Give up? How could we give up?

217

If we give up, it will become a cold case.

218

What about if someone get killed again in the future?

219

The murders all happened in Liubei Palace.

220

It didn't spread to other places.

221

To prevent deaths from happening again,

222

the safest way is to seal off Liubei Palace.

223

Your Highness the Empress Dowager, you must not do that.

224

We still haven't determined the winner.

225

Feifeng General has found no clues at all.

226

You also are unable to find a solution. Since both of you are clueless,

227

why must we still obstinately persist in doing this?

228

For each day that you two are unable to find the real killer, are we just going to let this danger run lose in the palace?

229

Sealing off Liubei Palace and not letting anyone in or out of it

230

is the safest method.

231

What about those who innocently died? Who will give them justice?

232

Princess Consort, stubbornly being competitive and unwilling to admit defeat

233

will cause more sacrifices.

234

Liubei Palace is Furen Yue's old palace. It's the only place where Eighth Royal Prince can reminisce about his mother.

235

If we just seal it off like this, he surely will be greatly saddened by this.

236

What did you say?!

237

Very sorry, Your Highness the Empress Dowager.

238

I know that I shouldn't have said that.

239

But I beg you to give me some more time, okay?

240

- Royal Mother—

-Your Majesty, everything that I do

241

is for the good of Prince Regent's Wife,

242

yet she just doesn't understand my intentions at all.

243

If she doesn't understand, you must clearly understand it.

244

Sealing off Liubei Palace...

245

First is to stop the rumors.

246

Second is for the safety here in the palace.

247

Third is to not let others

248

say that there is a ghost in Furen Yue's palace.

249

Your Majesty, that's my intention.

250

Since it's getting misunderstood like this,

251

you think I'm able to endure it?

252

Chuyu, aren't you going to hurry and ask for forgiveness from Empress Dowager?

253

Your Highness the Empress Dowager, you want to seal off Liubei Palace

254

because you were considering our safety.

255

But I said those disrespectful words and hurt your feelings. I was too rash.

256

Sorry, it was my fault.

257

Since you understand everything, why do you still want to risk your life for this?

258

If anything bad happens to you, what about Prince Regent?

259

- But—

- It's final then.

260

Let His Majesty give you two another topic for competition

261

and immediately send men to seal off Liubei Palace.

262

Your Highness the Empress Dowager, what you said is so wrong.

263

Timing and Subtitles carefully crafted by the MEI DAXIA Team at viki.com

264

Greetings, Your Majesty and Your Highness the Empress Dowager.

265

Hongxiu, what you said earlier was clearly that your against the closure of Liubei Palace.

266

Your Majesty, the rumors are now not limited inside the palace.

267

It has even spread throughout Pingcheng.

268

If we seal off Liubei Palace now, it's like admitting that the rumors are true.

269

Letting everyone assume that there is indeed a ghost inside the palace.

270

Guiren Feng, you shouldn't say such nonsense!

271

I suggested to close down Liubei Palace

272

because I wanted to ensure the safety of the people here in the palace

273

and not because I believed in some ghost stories.

274

Guiren Feng, since you've already entered the Imperial Palace,

275

don't bring in those filthy mess outside the palace into here.

276

What ghosts? What mischief?

277

I think that as long as one's conscience is clean,

278

any place will be a clean place for you.

279

What Your Highness the Empress Dowager said is right. I was out of line.

280

But...sealing off Liubei Palace

281

is a method of treating the symptoms but not the root.

282

The Imperial Palace is the land of the son of god, but we're just allowing an evil palace like that to exist in it.

283

It will only invite jokes from others.

284

Moreover, this Liubei Palace is after all the old dwelling of Furen Yue.

285

There are rumors spreading in the palace that it is haunted.

286

Then, doesn't that clearly suggest that Furen Yue has become a vengeful ghost?

287

The suggestion of Your Highness the Empress Dowager will just make things more conspicuous.

288

It will cause an opposite effect.

289

Your Majesty, not only will this hurt the heart of Eighth Royal Prince.

290

It will damage your prestige too.

291

That's why, I think that

292

not only must we not seal off this Liubei Palace, we must even find out the truth.

293

What Guiren Feng said is very reasonable. Also, the 10 days limit hasn't been reached yet.

294

I beg you to give me some more time.

295

What if after 10 days, you all still are unable to come up with a plan?

296

By then, if Your Highness the Empress Dowager wants to seal off Liubei Palace, I also will not say a word.

297

Okay. Since you can say it like that, I will then wait for the 10 days to end.

298

If by that time, there are still no discoveries, I will personally make a decree to seal off Liubei Palace.

299

Guiren Feng, you're so bold.

300

You dare to contradict Empress Dowager?!

301

Your Highness the Empress Dowager, I don't know what I've said wrong

302

that have caused you to be this mad.

303

You clearly know that the Liubei Palace case will bring a wide range of disaster,

304

yet you kept hindering its closure. What really are you trying to do?

305

Your Highness the Empress Dowager, you've misunderstood.

306

Guarding against the mouth of people is like guarding against a rushing water. Rumors will just worsen the more you try to block it.

307

In the end, everything will just get out of hand.

308

I did it just to let the truth placate the rumors. How can I have any motive?

309

I don't know what you really want to do.

310

But if Prince Regent's Wife and Feifeng General

311

both get hurt in Liubei Palace, you're the first one that I will not spare.

312

Feifeng General is both intelligent and valiant, while Prince Regent's Wife is clever and quick-witted.

313

I am very confident with them.

314

Your Highness the Empress Dowager, don't you think so?

315

Of course, I think the same way too.

316

Hongxiu!

317

Let's go back to my palace.

318

Your Highness the Empress Dowager, take care.

319

Hongxiu.

320

Are you alright?

321

I'm fine.

322

Thank you for earlier. If not because you said those words in my favor, Empress Dowager would have sealed Liubei Palace already.

323

By then, we won't be able to investigate anything anymore.

324

Chuyu, actually, what Her Highness the Empress Dowager said is right too.

325

I've seen so many weird stuff, but I never saw such a scary murder.

326

If Liubei Palace is really a haunted place, it is indeed better to just seal it off.

327

- Don't you risk your life and charge into there just for a moment of rashness.

- Hongxiu

328

you know that I'm a very curious person.

329

If I didn't know this, then fine. But since I've bumped into it,

330

I can't stop midway.

331

Let me tell you that I must persist until the end.

332

Even if I don't find out the truth, I won't have any regrets.

333

Chuyu, I want you to promise me one thing.

334

What is it?

335

I heard that anyone who enters Liubei Palace after dark

336

are unable to come out alive.

337

That's why, no matter what matter you encounter,

338

you must not enter Liubei Palace after dark.

339

- You hear me?

- Don't worry, Hongxiu. I know how to weigh the importance of things.

340

- Promise me first.

- Okay. I promise you.

341

Do you know that even if I don't promise you,

342

Rong Zhi will drag me away before sunset everyday. He won't let me stay at all.

343

- You...

- Lighter.

344

Prince Regent is being concerned about you. You're living in bliss yet you don't know how to acknowledge it.

345

Really?

346

Silly thing.

347

Qingyue, tell me. What method can we use to enter the great hall

348

but not get harmed by the killer?

349

Princess, how come Wei is full of monks? You can bump into them anywhere.

350

Aren't you stupid? His Majesty is very religious to Buddhism. The subjects will naturally follow their superiors.

351

Hence, it has become a norm.

352

- You got it?

- Got it.

353

Shen Yu! Hurry! Hurry! Where is Prince Regent?

354

His Majesty gave him a new task. He won't be in the manor these next two days.

355

You can just tell it to me.

356

What to do then?! It will be too late.

357

What's wrong?

358

I don't care anymore. Let's go. Come with me.

359

- Go where?

- Hurry and go. Hurry up!

360

Qingyue.

361

Princess Consort, what are you doing?

362

Shen Yu, you're here.

363

Isn't it they say that there is a ghost in Liubei Palace?

364

I then heard that a Buddhist statue can scare ghosts.

365

That's why, I looked for the best carpenter in the city

366

and asked him to expediently make me a Buddhist statue overnight.

367

This is not called expediently making. It's cleaning the Buddhist statue.

368

Right...it's cleaning the statue.

369

- No, Princess is actually planning to—

- With this Buddhist statue,

370

the ghosts in Liubei Palace

371

will not cause mischief anymore.

372

Princess Consort never believed in ghosts before. Why are you suddenly believing it now?

373

Think about it. When a person is already severely ill and dying, he surely will try all kinds of medicines.

374

What if a miracle happens?

375

Although I don't believe it, His Majesty does.

376

What if we succeed by a lucky stroke and the ghost really disappears,

377

then won't I have won this round?

378

So, Princess Regent is just bent on winning,

379

hence, just turning to any kind of doctor. (any kind of methods)

380

That's right. And I will be able to finish this today.

381

I am going to deliver it to Liubei Palace before sunset.

382

Don't bother us here. Go...

383

- Go. Go. Hurry and leave.

- Shen Yu!

384

Quickly go.

385

You're not allowed to tell him.

386

Okay already. Thank you everyone. You all can go back now.

387

Prince Regent's Wife, hurry and leave too. The sun will be setting soon.

388

I'll immediately go out. You all quickly go first.

389

Yes.

390

This is so great.

391

Qingyue, as long as you hide inside, you surely won't get discovered.

392

You can even clearly see everything without anyone knowing.

393

You must not betray me, or else, I won't mind you again.

394

No. You better come out from there.

395

What are you doing?! Qingyue, I'm not joking around with you.

396

I'm also not joking around with you! This is too dangerous! You can't go in!

397

The sky will be dark soon. I must catch a ghost. Quickly leave.

398

- Catch what ghost?! Princess!

- Move! I must go in.

399

- It's too dangerous!

- Quickly go out!

400

Princess! Open the door!

401

Open them!

402

Princess! It's too dangerous, Princess!

403

This surely will work. Once the sky is dark,

404

I will personally see

405

what thing is doing all these.

406

Princess!

407

Open the doors! Open the doors!

408

Princess, are you alright?! Princess!

409

It's fine... Nothing will happen.

410

Princess!

411

Open the doors! Princess!

412

- I didn't see it wrong, right? Was that Prince Regent?!

- That's right.

413

What status does Prince Regent have? How come he's just running around the palace?

414

Has the sun risen up from the west?

415

Where is he rushing to go to?

416

Your Highness.

417

Damn you! I told you to look after her! How did you do that?!

418

Rong Zhi, what's wrong with you?

419

I thought...you already...

420

You think I was what?

421

I thought that after I left, you had secretly sneaked inside the palace again.

422

Look. Aren't I fine?

423

Look at me. I'm really fine. I was afraid that you'll get angry,

424

that's why, I didn't tell you. Don't be mad at me.

425

How many times have I told you not to endanger your life?

426

What if you die? What if you've also become a dried up corpse?

427

Do you know how afraid I was?

428

You only think of yourself.

429

You only know to competitive. You have no conscience at all!

430

Afraid? Were you afraid because of me?

431

I...it was you who banned me from going to Liubei Palace.

432

That's why, I used delivering the Buddhist statue to scare the ghost as an excuse

433

and then secretly hid inside it.

434

But Qingyue still told Shen Yu about it.

435

Shen Yu then requested a decree from His Majesty.

436

He dragged me out of there before dark.

437

Don't be mad at me anymore, okay?

438

Who then is that person inside?

439

Your Highness, this is a prisoner sentenced to death that I brought here.

440

He willingly joined this experiment in exchange of his freedom and won't regret dying because of it.

441

I already did my best.

442

But it still failed.

443

Let me see.

444

Huo Xuan.

445

What about it?

446

It's the same as previous.

447

His blood also got completely sucked out and died from it.

448

But he clearly was fully protected.

449

How did that monster entered?

450

Didn't you especially left a hole?

451

You're saying that the monster is smaller than this hole?

452

Of course. If you carefully examined the corpses, you would have noticed this beforehand.

453

It's my fault. I was too confident.

454

I'm the one who brought him harm.

455

Look at this.

456

What is that?

457

It seems to be pollen,

458

but also doesn't seem like it.

459

This is too dangerous. How about we just cancel this competition?

460

No. Since the competition has started,

461

unless me or Prince Regent's Wife die midway,

462

or else, it won't be stop. If you want to stop it,

463

sure. Tell her to immediately admit defeat.

464

Only then will this competition ends.

465

Your Highness, why didn't you even urge General Huo?

466

With her personality,

467

she won't stop until she finds out the truth.

468

But...

469

Okay already. I already promised not to interfere

470

in their competition.

471

General Huo is quite strange today. She was still fine yesterday.

472

Did I offend her in some way?

473

Shen Yu, move the Buddhis statue out of here.

474

Rong Zhi!

475

You can continue competing!

476

But you must tell me your every move!

477

You're being too domineering! Come back here!

478

Rong Zhi!

Why are you following me? Get lost.

481

No. I can't find the way out.

482

It's true. This Imperial Palace is so huge.

483

It's also my first time to be here. When you left me earlier, I panicked.

484

You can ask a palace servant to guide you out.

485

Huo Xuan!

486

Didn't anyone teach you that you should handle a matter from start to finish?

487

It was you who brought me into the palace,

488

so you should be the one to take me out.

489

Gu Huan.

490

What's wrong? You're mad?

491

You clearly know...

492

I know.

493

I know that you are very angry because you saw

494

Prince Regent being so concerned about Princess Consort earlier.

495

Since you know, why do you still keep pestering me?

496

But do you know that I got angry too?

497

Why will you get mad?

498

You really don't get it?

499

I don't get it.

500

Okay. I'll tell you then.

501

How dare you?!

502

Sorry.

503

But I like you.

504

Impossible.

505

Why is it impossible?

506

You clearly know that towards Rong Zhi...

507

So what?

508

You clearly know that the person that Rong Zhi loves is Chuyu,

509

but aren't you still insisting on your stand?

510

While I? I traveled far from JIngzhou to PIngcheng

511

just for you.

512

Gu Huan, if you still don't stop talking,

513

I will cut off your tongue already.

514

A person's heart can't be controlled.

515

Even if you cut off my tongue,

516

you can't stop me from loving you.

517

I don't want to listen to these nonsense anymore.

518

Huo Xuan, one day, I will let you know

519

who is the person that really loves you.

520

Until that day comes, I will keep waiting for you.

521

Let me tell you then that the person I love is Rong Zhi.

522

That day will never come.

523

Wangyue Pavilion (Looking at the Moon Pavilion)

524

General Huo, sorry...

525

Wait.

526

The crystal lamp of Yuehua Palace is broken. These are especially to be delivered there to replace them.

527

General Huo, are there any problem with this crystal lamp?

528

Right. There is a problem, a big problem.

529

Wangyue Pavilion

530

Your Majesty, I beg you to make a decree

531

to stop the current competition.

532

Your Highness the Empress Dowager—

533

I also just heard it earlier.

534

If not because Shen Yu asked for a decree that night,

535

the person who would have died inside the Buddhist statue is Prince Regent's Wife.

536

How can we allow such a dangerous competition to continue?

537

Your Majesty. Your Majesty, I beg you to give me one more chance, okay?

538

Isn't there still one more day?

539

Have you forgotten how those people died?

540

You want His Majesty to give you one more chance?

541

Give out a better method of resolving this then.

542

I tried to stop her. But for Chuyu,

543

stopping the competition midway is like killing her.

544

Prince Regent's Wife, Empress Dowager is right. You shouldn't risk your life.

545

This matter ends here.

546

I will set a new topic and you two just compete once more.

547

But Your Majesty...

548

Feifeng General is here!

549

Greetings, Your Majesty and Your Highness the Empress Dowager.

550

Rise.

551

It's good that you're here.

552

Your Majesty, please announce in front of her

553

that the competition is over!

554

General Huo, did you hear that? Please try to get His Majesty to change his mind!

555

Your Majesty is worried about my safety and the Princess Consort's. I am very grateful.

556

However, Your Majesty has already personally given an imperial order.

557

Since you have already ordered me to investigate Liu Bei Hall, I dare not stop midway.

558

Your Majesty please rest assured. I have an idea.

559

What idea?

560

We should hold a worship ritual.

561

A worship ritual?

562

Since there is supernatural activity in Liu Bei Hall,

563

and Princess Consort's Buddha statue did nothing, we should use an offering

564

to pacify the spirit. Once it has been pacified,

565

then naturally the Princess Consort and I will be safe.

566

Then the matter of Liu Bei Hall can be investigated properly.

567

Huo Xuan, what do you mean by this?

568

Of course I am trying to contain the spirit within Liu Bei Hall.

569

-Aren't you afraid that its vengeful spirit could grow stronger and break out to kill more people?

-Huo Xuan!

570

Your Majesty, I can guarantee

571

that there will be no more supernatural disturbances after the worship ritual.

572

But I boldly ask of you to personally attend the ritual.

573

Use your 'dragon spirit' to stun the 'ghostly spirit' so that we can get this done once and for all.

(dragon is the symbol of the emperor)

574

Okay, then we shall do as you suggest.

575

I want to see if your method will work or not.

576

Thank you, Your Majesty.

577

Greetings, Emperor Dowager.

578

Huo Xuan! Have you lost your mind? You want His Majesty to endanger himself and personally be there during the ritual?

579

Your Highness the Empress Dowager, you must be careful. Don't startle the ghost.

580

Where is the ghost? I also want to see it.

581

Greetings to Your Majesty.

582

Hongxiu, you're here.

583

With Your Majesty being here, I won't fear anything.

584

It is exactly because there are people like you who wishes the world to be in chaos

585

that's causing the whole palace to be shrouded by this pandemonium atmosphere.

586

Your Highness the Empress Dowager, General Huo just have good intentions.

587

She wants to help in driving the evil spirits out of Liubei Palace. Why are you scolding her?

588

The sky will be dark soon.

589

Liubei Palace

590

Open all the cloths used to cover the sunlight.

591

Yes!

592

Who's there?

593

Catch her!

594

Everyone, come over here to look.

595

What's that thing?

596

What are those things?

597

- Butterflies.

- Impossible.

598

I've never seen or suffered crossing paths with a blood-sucking butterfly.

599

These are not really butterflies, this is a pack of monsters!

600

They must not be permitted to come out, seal it immediately to the top!

601

Let's go!

602

Let's go!

603

Liubei Palace

604

Open the palace doors.

605

606

- Go get some tea.

- Yes.

607

This is the thing that you want to show us?

608

Yes.

609

I have to thank Prince Regent's Wife for this. She ordered someone to create a Buddhist statue

610

where the only opening was a hole to observe the surrounding.

611

Afterwards, we found strange powder around the hole.

612

I then started to suspect that the one attacking the people is a kind of bug.

613

But at that time, I still didn't know where they are hiding.

614

So, just to conveniently observe them,

615

you ordered the men to shutter the window?

616

Yes.

617

Hateful. I clearly saw them before,

618

yet I just thought then that they were carved in such lifelike details.

619

Butterflies loving a flower blossom is just normal. Even if an ordinary person will notice them,

620

it's unlikely for them to think that they are living animals.

621

Right. This type of butterfly's body type is smaller than our normal butterfly.

622

After sucking and digesting the blood, it returns to the size of a moth

623

and returns on the wall.

624

What is that? Is that a...butterfly? A butterfly!
